This was my first long distance trip with HF drive assist. Princeton to Provincetown is around 370 miles.

The drive was primarily highways so plenty of chances to try the HF drive assist.

What i liked:
  • Hands free was extra handy in areas of heavy stop and go traffic. It was nice to relax to let the car deal with it.
  • The Merritt Parkway is a very old divided parkway but much of it was enabled to my delight. It dealt well with the winding curves on way.
What i did not like:
  • The drift into exit lanes was solved except for one scary moment on the Merritt when the car veered sharply into an exit a lane.
  • The car tended to drift into acceleration lanes when the dotted white lines ended before the end of the merge, especially if the road was curving to the right.
  • The car tended to slow aggressively for a car in front of me exiting, even when that car was well clear of the travel lane. This was more pronounced if the road was curving to the right.
  • The car wandered sometimes in spots where a transition between paved and milled surfaces happened,w hich jostled the car.
Overall performance was great with Mi/KwH in the 3.8 - 4.3 range.
We used the Apple electric chargers at one restaurant stop in New Canaan, CT. The cable needed to be about 6" longer for a stress-free fit
